Looking to improve this song for an excericise

I needs to be smoother 4,5,6 and any wording improvement. Any community suggestions are welcome. It is a dark hard piano piece, or will be when the timing is right lol.

If my next breath
and my last breath each
Somehow crossed your lips

If my next heartbeat
and my last were each
In perfect sync with yours

[Chorus]
Every moment before
Could turn to dust behind us
While the world before opened wide

If my last tear fell
Living its moments
Fading to salt your skin

[Chorus]
Every moment before
Could turn to dust behind us
While the world before opened wide

If what I last heard
Was a sigh of passion
From your fresh moistened lips...


[Chorus]

Every moment before
Could turn to dust behind us
While the world before opened wide

Laughing crying hearts
Would find their Peace
Melting in the arms of each

Hi. As you say "any suggestions are welcome" I have a go (bold parts) imagining Nick Cave singing. I write lyrics myself so I believe you'd go with your flow anyway. This lyrics has a lot in common with my recent output so I made an unusual officious move. I hope you don't mind. I like the very last part in italics. Thank you.

Thank you for your wonderful suggestions.

Now I just have to find some way to take a sledge hammer to the timing
